The contrast between the first and second half of the 2022 Yankees is as drastic as it has ever been for any team in baseball history. Through Saturday’s action, they have exactly 28 losses before and after the All-Star Break, but 40 fewer wins in the second half. Their lineup frequently looks like Aaron Judge is playing for a triple-A team and regardless of what happens the rest of the way, they need to clean house in the offseason. Make no mistake, it’s bleak in the Bronx, but there’s still room for optimism for the 2022 season.
